Sur le continent, des averses et des orages se produisent lorsque la masse d'air est réchauffée par la surface.
By twelve o'clock, with the sun pouring into the room, the heat became quite oppressive, and we wondered when those heavy showers and occasional thunderstorms were going to begin.
Vers midi, la pièce était baignée de soleil, la chaleur devenait étouffante, et nous commençâmes à nous demander si oui ou non ces fortes averses et ces orages intermittents allaient bientôt consentir à s’abattre.

And even the sun got out of order nowadays; they had snow in July and thunderstorms in December, a perfect upsetting of seasons, which wrecked the crops almost before they were out of the ground.

Les tornades proviennent quelquefois d'orages isolés, mais le plus fréquemment, elles résultent d'orages supercellulaires associés à des fronts froids ou des lignes de grains.
"Heavy showers, with thunderstorms, may be expected to-day," it would say on Monday, and so we would give up our picnic, and stop indoors all day, waiting for the rain.
« On peut s’attendre aujourd’hui à de fortes ondées, avec orages locaux », annonçait-elle le lundi. Aussi renonçâmes-nous à notre projet de pique-niquer et restâmes-nous enfermés toute la journée, à attendre la pluie.
